Rock Garden, Trailer Queen | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy weekend yall!!!!  I"m up on the TRHD Blog today with another card using the Desert Background set, just showing you how awesome this background set is even if you don't enjoy coloring or sometimes don't have time to color!

 

So first off, I die cut some chat bubbles on masking paper, then placed the masks on my card base.  Once they were in place, I grabbed a few Distress Oxide inks and my Bitty Bunny Blending brushes and got inky!  Once the ink blending was done, I then removed the masking paper.  I went over this whole thing with a heat gun a little just to dry out those Oxides.  Next you're going to want to go over the whole piece with the Embossing Powder Tool, just to be sure none of your EP sticks to that Oxide ink!  Now, I stamped my Desert Background image with some embossing ink and some Rose Gold EP.  I just LOVE the look of the Rose Gold!  Finally I stamped my sentiments from the SXS Life set in the "chat bubbles".  Well that's all I have for you today, thanks for popping by!  Hope to see you back here again soon!

 

That'll Buff Right Out | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy Friday-eve!!!!  I'm up on the TRHD Blog with another easy and fun card that could be great for a masculine card!  A little ink blending here, a little heat embossing there and a smidge of patterned paper and voila!

So first off, I stamped my SXS Life image with some embossing ink and some ultra fine black EP.  After heat embossing the image I got my Up in Flames stencil in place and grabbed a few Distress Oxide inks and my Bitty Bunny Blending brushes and got to work.

The Getting Inky papers are perfect for paper piecing or in this case adding some texture elements... tell me that blue ink paper doesn't make the coolest clouds!  The clouds and the sentiment are all popped up with foam tape.  Well that's it for me, thanks for popping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

 

 

Hugs Enclosed | Tuesday Morning Sketches

Happy Tuesday!  Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch!  I've used the sketch this week to make a pretty "thinking of you" card.  Please scroll to the bottom of my post for this weeks sketch, or you can click >here< to see it on the TMS Blog.

I used the Scripty Hugs stamp set and the coordinating word die & shadow from The Rabbit Hole Designs and paired them up with some Distress Oxide inks.  

Well that's it for my me!  I hope you have as much fun playing with this sketch as I did!  You can link up your creation on the TMS Blog, we'd all love to see what you create!  You can also visit the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon!

Adventure is Calling... Clarence is answering | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy Friday!!!!  First off, give yourself a pat on the back and a gold star for surviving the week! lol  I'm up on the TRHD Blog today with this fun card using Clarence Skydiving.  I've paired him up with the Clouds in my Coffee stencil and the Adventure Scripty Word die & stamp set, and the Getting Inky paper pad.

So first off I stamped Clarence where I wanted him to be, then I used the Clouds stencil and some Oxide Inks to create the sky.  I was lazy and didn't even bother masking Clarence off, I just made sure I placed the stencil so the bumps in the clouds covered any image parts (sneaky ;-) ).  Next I colored up Clarence with some Copics.  Finally I used the Adventure Scripty Word die with the Getting Inky paper pad and stamped the sentiment in red below.  Voila!

  

 

 

Chute Happens | The Rabbit Hole Designs June Release

More! More! More!  More new release fun!  We are releasing 4 new stamp sets, 2 coordinating dies and 1 stencils, and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm playing with the latest Clarence set, Clarence Skydiving and I paired it up with the new Up in Flames stencil.

So I started off stamping Clarence on my main panel.  I also stamped his "chute" again on some patterned paper to piece.  I got him all colored up with Copics, then had some fun with the FAB new stencil!  First I did some ink blending... red, orange, yellow.  All the way across the bottom, I used the full width part of the stencil here.

Then I used one of the smaller stencil pieces and add some texture paste and red glitter.  I did this in 2 spots... wowza!  Does it ever add some fantastic definition!  The smaller flame stencil parts are perfect for things like this or for using in smaller areas.

Congratulations | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy weekend!!!!  Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!  I'm up on the TRHD blog today with this sweet card using the Congratulations stamp set and the Mesh Optical Illusion stencil from the May release.

A little embossing here, a little ink blending there and voila!  I started with some very pretty patterned paper for the background, and added a splash of Antique Linen Oxide ink to the upper right corner... just enough to add a little more interest to the card base.  

For the cake, I took a piece of marbled peach paper from the paper pack and stamped my image on it, then embossed using an Antique Gold ep.  Finally I stamped my sentiment on some thick vellum and heat embossed it with ultrafine Gold glitter ep.

 

Happy Anniversary | The Rabbit Hole Designs May Release

We're at the tail end of the May release!.  We are releasing 5 new stamp sets, 3 coordinating dies and 2 stencils (and a partridge in a pear tree, kidding), and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW Lobsters for Life stamp set.  This set is perfect for a wedding or anniversary!

I know not all wedding things need to be blingy and shimmery but I'm having too much fun with all things glittery, shimmery inks & foils to stop! lol  This is just a simple card that you can do in any color (to match the wedding or anniversary year, etc.)  I stamped my lobsters in silver ink then added a bit of black on his tux and white on her veil.  I stamped the sentiment on red cs and added some silver glitter cs behind.  The "Love" is one of our scripty word dies and comes with that shadow... perfect!

That's it for me, but be sure to visit the rest of team and check out the creative awesomeness they've made for you!!

Congratulations! | The Rabbit Hole Designs May Release Hop

We're kickin' off the May release for TRHD in shimmery style!.  We are releasing 5 new stamp sets, 3 coordinating dies and 2 stencils (and a partridge in a pear tree, kidding), and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW Congratulations stamp set.  This set is perfect for a wedding or anniversary!

When I saw this stamp set I immediately became obsessed with embossing it with metals.  So, I went to make my card today and just HAD to try all of my metal embossing powders, lol.  For the card I used a Platinum ep, but I also show it embossed with a Princess Gold ep in the lower right.... sooooooooo pretty!

I stamped the cake on some thick vellum and embossed with Platinum ep.  Once it was cooled, I added just a little color to the leaves and flowers, then I cut it out.  I added some fluttery hearts and a few rhinestones here and there.  The sentiment is also stamped on vellum and embossed with Platinum.

That's it for me, but be sure to visit the rest of team and check out the creative awesomeness they've made for you!!

Come & Share a pot of tea... | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy weekend!  If you aren't enjoying gorgeous weather this weekend, I hope you're getting some crafty time in somewhere!  I'm up on the TRHD Blog today with another fun card using the Bunny Brew stamp set & dies.

Using the coordinating dies for this card made it come together very quick!  I LOVE this patterned paper pack (Flower Garden by Carta Bella), it was perfect behind my Pink teapot!  I used 2 Postage Stamp dies on the paper and then staggered the rectangles kinda wonky. I colored up the tea pot with Copics, then used the die to cut it out.  I adhered it to the card front using foam tape and then added some silver foil heart confetti to the tea pot... I LOVE dimension!

On a fun flag tag, I stamped the sentiment and attached it using foam tape.  Voila!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you back here on Monday for the kick off of the TRHD May release!

You're tea-riffic! | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy Sunday!  Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!  I'm up on the TRHD Blog today with a fun tag using the Bunny Brew stamp set and coordinating dies from the April release.

Coordinating dies make it so easy to use so many stamp sets on tags!  This quick and easy gift tag is waaaayyyyyyyy cuter than any tag you can buy at the store!  I stamped out my Bunnies in a cup, colored them up with copics then used the coordinating die to cut them out.

Once cut out, I adhered it to my tag with some foam tape.  I added a heart die to my sentiment tab and popped them both up with foam tape.  Voila!  An easy peasy, totes adorbs tag!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon.

 

Hello | Tuesday Morning Sketches

Happy Tuesday!  I am so excited to be a part of the Tuesday Morning Sketches team!  I LOVE sketches, I have loved them since I very, very, very first started stamping.  Please scroll to the bottom of my post for this weeks sketch, or you can click >here< to see it on the TMS Blog.

So I kind of flipped the sketch 90, and I grabbed goodies from a few of my fave companies!  First off, I have just a piece of a teapot in the upper right corner, happily it also had a coordinating die, so I used it as well.  The teapot is tilted to "spill" out the hearts.

Those fabulous heart dies are from Reverse Confetti (and sadly retired). but I love the scoring down the middle so they kind of fold/flutter.  I also added some bauble hearts, and the "Hello" die.  After wrapping the twine around my card front and adhering the triple bow in place, I went to snip the excess tails and decided I really liked the way they trailed down, so I trimmed them just a bitty bit.

Well that's it for my first sketch with my new team!  I had such a great time playing with this sketch, hope you'll give it a try too!  You can link up your creation on the TMS Blog, we'd all love to see what you create!  You can also visit the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon!

Sending you Sunshine and Rainbows | The Rabbit Hole Designs April Release

It's day 3 of TRHD's April Release Hop.  We are releasing 5 new stamp sets, 3 coordinating dies and 2 stencils (and a partridge in a pear tree, kidding), and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW Bunny Travel stamp set.

This is such a cute set!  Though with all of the rainbows & sunshine in there, where does one pack all of their shoes?!? lol.  This suitcase would have been fun to paper piece, but I just couldn't stop coloring once I'd started, lol. I used a sunburst cover plate die on my rainbow paper piece and added a couple of cloud dies towards the top, leaving plenty of space in the lower half for my suitcase.

I did stamp my sentiment in the top of the suitcase, I just LOVE how it fits so nicely there!  But it would have been fun to piece the suitcase lid, I remember a suitcase set when I was a kid and the lid had a pretty fabric liner!

That's it for me, but be sure to visit the rest of team and check out the creative awesomeness they've made for you!!
